Fury as Anti-Israel Protest Erupts Outside Jewish-Owned Notting Hill Restaurant
Anti-Zionist protesters showed up outside an Israeli restaurant in London on Friday night, with scenes quickly turning ugly. The Standard has more.
Footage showed around 50 people stood under a banner proclaiming themselves as the “International Jewish Anti-Zionist Network” outside the Israeli restaurants Miznon on Elgin Crescent in Notting Hill, West London.
Video footage captured an activist using a megaphone to shout: “Standing with the resistance, we affirm that Palestinians have the right to return to their homeland that was stolen from them during the 1948 Nakba [when the state of Israel declared its independence].
“We believe in the right to resist by any and all means necessary, for the full liberation and from the river to the sea!”
A chant then broke out of “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free”.
Historian Simon Sebag Montefiore condemned the protest. He wrote on X: “Shocked to see this disgraceful scene outside a Jewish restaurant in Notting Hill. Attacked by a crowd shouting racism and intimidating innocent clients and staff who r defended by a large police presence. Thanks to Met Police for being there but this should not be happening.” [sic]

Look up the definition of Zionism. Anti-Zionism is the
opposition to Zionism, the political movement that advocated for and supports the existence of a sovereign Jewish national homeland in the historical land of Israel.
